I ran my first 5k for the year and the first one since I had 6 surgeries, and I did it, I am proud to day I ran the whole thing, keep pace, and placed 6th overall and 3rd in women. I will say it was a small race, about 75 runners, but a win is a win right?

    Congrats! Watch out... Running races is addictive! I ran my first August 10th and have ran many many more since then. I actually got first in my age group at that race but left before the award ceremony cause I didn't realize how awards were given out and that I could possibly get one. I figured it out a few weeks after and the race director was nice enough to give me my medal:)

    it's still a win!!

    i'd love to race in a small race with tons of slow people--slower than me. then i can win something! otherwise i'm a back of the pack kind of gal.
